Faarfannaa 53

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Gosa Muuziiqaa maahilaati jedhamuun faarfatame. Maskiilii Daawiti. Gowwaan garaa isaatti, “Waaqni hin jiru” jedha. Isaan xuraaʼaniiru; karaan isaaniis jibbisiisaa dha; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.

For the chief musician; set to Mahalath. A maschil of David. A fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt and have done abominable iniquity; there is no one who does good.

2 Waaqni yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.

God looks down from heaven on the children of mankind to see if there are any who understand, who seek after him.

3 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; hundi isaaniis xuraaʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.

They have all turned away. Together they have become corrupt. There is not one who does good, not even one.

4 Warri hammina hojjetan, kanneen akkuma waan buddeena nyaataniitti saba koo nyaatan, warri Waaqa hin waammanne hundinuu homaa hin beekanii?

Do those who commit iniquity have no understanding— those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and they do not call on God?

5 Isaan iddoo wanni sodaatamu hin jirretti, sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru. Waaqni lafee warra si marsanii ni bittinneessa; sababii Waaqni isaan tuffateef, ati isaan qaanessite.

They were in great fear, although no reason to fear was there; for God will scatter the bones of whoever will camp against you; such people will be put to shame because God has rejected them.

6 Maaloo utuu Xiyoon keessaa fayyinni Israaʼeliif dhufee! Yommuu Waaqni saba isaa warra boojiʼaman deebisutti, Yaaqoob haa ililchu; Israaʼelis haa gammadu!

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God brings back his people from the captivity, then Jacob will rejoice and Israel will be glad!
